Music Listening Reflections

Write your reflections on any of the ideas below or design your own reflection. You should use grade-level appropriate writing in paragraph form. Be sure to use your Music vocabulary words. Your reflection should be no shorter than 2 paragraphs for each reflection; however, you can (and are encouraged to) write more!

1. A song you totally love.
2. A song you totally dislike.
3. A song that cheers you up.
4. A song that calms you down.
5. A piece of music you have heard all your life or that reminds you of an event in your life.
6. A song that helped you learn something.
7. A piece of classical music (see sfskids.org radio for suggestions).
8. Design your own reflection.

 Tips:

Use the vocabulary words to help express your ideas.

Discuss specific musical parts of the song (tempo, meter, dynamics, pitch, timbre/tone color, mood, form)

Tell about the lyrics.

            Tell what the song makes you wonder, makes you think of, or the "mind movie" story that you think is 

            happening.
